Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Synopsis
The story
For decades, the Galactic Empire has been locked in an interstellar war with the Free Planets Alliance, a conflict that involves thousands of spaceships and millions of soldiers on both sides. Two new commanders enter the conflict with great hopes: Imperial Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm and the FPA's Yang Wen-Li. As they deal with superiors and subordinates, maneuver through complicated political arrangements, plot strategies, and win battles, each will be tested, and ultimately, changed, by the reality of war.

Grand, emphatic, a story for the ages

Good? Yes, but far from being the pinnacle of anime.
@Goukeban195/463 helpful
Space opera done right. Must watch series.

Didn't manage to get me on the masterpiece bandwagon, but definitely worth a gander, despite it's flaws.
